Centipede! The Old Bug And His Shoes
By Walter Burns
Moccasins, loafers Slippers and ropers Flip-flops, high tops Slickers get you Puddle hops Mukluks and chukkas Sandals and thongs Pick the perfect sneaker And you can't go wrong Heels and steels Cleats and taps House shoes are good When you're Done with naps Shoes for bowling Skates for rolling Soccer shoes for when you Go out goaling Swim shoes, stilts And even waders Running shoes are good for Them see-you-laters Wing tips and oxfords Shoes when you ballet Working those pumps As you pay the valet Granny boots lace up Hiking boots race up A mountain full of Those blue suede shoes Golf shoes for courses Riding boots for horses Space boots for the race We're not going to lose When they're getting snooty Babies wear their booties Wearing stilettos get you A bad case of cooties Mules wearing horseshoes? Hush puppies being quiet? If you wear combat boots You'll likely cause a riot. Shoes that are dyed Snowshoes really wide Rolling runners have a wheel You can pop up and hide Platforms for feeding hogs When dancing wear your clogs Walking shoes are good when Being walked by your dogs Duck shoes on a boat Boat shoes on a duck Buster Browns and Mary Janes Can cost alotta bucks These fifty pairs of shoes Wear them as you choose But I'm a centipede Fifty pairs of shoes I need! I wear them all at once From Velcro to shoe laced Snaps, straps and zippers And wild ones kids embrace! Now I change a diaper Forty-nine are for my wife Soon our baby grows up And shoes'll be her life What's that I hear?
